DANDRUFF

The white flakes that accompany dandruff can be embarrassing and annoying, but they don’t have to be forever! …
Dandruff is an incredibly common condition that affects up to 50% of the population at any given time. It is characterized by excess shedding of dead skin flakes from the scalp. Most people suffering from dandruff are willing to try almost anything because of the self-esteem and social problems that come with this condition. In each case, dandruff is the symptom of a larger problem in the body.

There are a few different underlying causes, and the treatment recommendations may differ accordingly.

Normal skin of the scalp
The scalp is covered with skin that is thickly carpeted with hair follicles that produce long strands of head hair. Much like the rest of the body, the skin on the scalp also sheds as the newer layers grow upwards and force the older, dying, surface layers to slough off. Usually, the flakes created by this natural sloughing are so small that they are not visible to the naked eye. In fact, much of the dust in our houses is actually made up of skin flakes (gross, I know)! There are a number of conditions that can speed up the replication of the skin of the scalp, causing the old layers to be shed faster, and in larger flakes. These are the unsightly flakes that we commonly call dandruff.

CAUSES OF DANDRUFF
Because dandruff is technically a symptom and not a condition, it can be difficult to pinpoint its underlying cause. In each case there are a number of factors that contribute to the progression of dandruff.

Allergic Dermatitis
Many people have sensitive skin, and that is not limited to the skin on their body. Scalp skin can also be easily irritated in some individuals, especially because it is often exposed to a number of styling products and cleansers not used in other areas of the body. Harsh cleansing shampoos and processing products like hair dyes, permanents, and straightening chemicals can all damage the skin of the scalp and cause it to become irritated. This irritation can trigger an increased cell turnover, leading to faster shedding of the skin known as dandruff. Irritation of the skin also allows for easy infection by microbes that can cause a further problem. Unfortunately, many of the conventional treatments for dandruff can be harsh and can cause further allergic reaction, making the situation worse. In these cases, removing harsh hair products and switching to more gentle and natural cleansers can help to reduce the problem. For more information, please see our Dermatitis and Immune System articles. In some cases, dietary sensitivities can also contribute to the symptoms. For more information on this potential cause, please see our Leaky Gut article.

Seborrheic Dermatitis - Fungal Scalp Infection
The most common cause of dandruff is actually an infection of the skin of the scalp by Malassezia globosa, a fungus (yeast) much like the Tinea species that cause ringworm. This results in a rash on the skin called seborrheic dermatitis. The yeast actually feed on the natural oil produced by the skin in hairy areas known as “sebum”. This type of infection can actually occur anywhere on the body where the skin tends to be oily. In infants, seborrheic dermatitis is known as “cradle cap”. Because this condition is linked to sebum production, it is affected by genetics and hormonal balance in the body. Once infection occurs, it can trigger an irritation of the scalp, which can cause an increase in the rate of turnover of the skin. This means that the irritated skin begins to grow and shed more quickly, a condition called dermatitis. This irritation also causes an increase in sebum production, resulting in further fungal growth. So begins the downward spiral of dandruff. In addition to dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis often has other symptoms such as: large red plaques over the skin, white and flakey or yellow and oily skin scales, itching and even hair loss. For more information on the causes and treatment of fungal infections, please see our Fungal Infection article.

Hormonal Imbalances
Because sebum production is controlled by hormonal balance in the body, when our hormones fluctuate, it changes how oily our skin becomes. Higher levels of testosterone are associated with increased production of sebum on the skin, while higher levels of estrogen are associated with lower sebum production. This may be the underlying reason that dandruff is more likely to affect men rather than women.

TREATMENT
There are a wide variety of treatments available for resolving dandruff. Which treatment will be successful is determined by the underlying cause of your condition. Sometimes you will have to try a few different treatment options before you find the one that works best for you. In most cases, treating the body from the inside out is the best way to make a lasting impact on a stubborn condition such as dandruff. By resolving hormonal imbalances, and boosting or regulating Immune System responses, you can give your body the best fighting chance at resolving the condition on its own. Sometimes, you will also need to try topical treatments to help nip the current flaking in the bud.

Conventional Treatments
Walking into any drugstore you will quickly see that there are a vast number of commercial products available for the treatment of dandruff. There are many shampoos, creams, and rinses available to help combat this annoying symptom. Medical doctors will often recommend antifungal agents, or steroid creams to reduce inflammation and replication of the skin cells. Zinc pyrithione (ZPT), and selenium sulfide are often added to over-the-counter anti-dandruff shampoos because they can help to heal the scalp and act as antibacterial and antifungal agents. Coal tar is also common as it promotes faster shedding of dead skin cells, and slows the new skin growth.

Lifestyle Changes

Keeping dandruff in control starts with some simple steps for proper care of the skin on your scalp. Shampooing each day and after strenuous exercise can help to get rid of excess oils. This reduces the fungal food source. Be sure to use a gentle hypoallergenic shampoo, or simply wash with baking soda and vinegar (especially apple cider vinegar) for a gentle natural cleansing that removes oil and excess skin flakes, while helping to kill any yeast present. Be careful to avoid scratching as much as possible during the day, as this can damage the skin and cause further inflammatory problems. Avoid the use of chemical styling products as these can contribute to the accumulation of sebum and other debris on the scalp. Excessively drying the scalp can trigger an increased production of sebum by the body, which can further aggravate dandruff, so simply moisturizing the scalp periodically with saturated fats like coconut oil can help.

Treating Dandruff from the Inside
There are a number of herbs and nutrients that can help to fight dandruff and keep the scalp healthy. Please see our Hair Health article for ways to improve the hair and scalp from the inside out.

Topical Treatments for Dandruff
Traditional Ayurvedic practitioners used black pepper to help treat dandruff by mixing it with lime and milk and spreading it on the scalp. In Eastern medicine egg oil (natural mayonnaise) has also been traditionally used for dandruff due to its moisturizing properties. Minced onion can also be applied to the scalp and will act as an antimicrobial to help kill off the offending fungus. Neem and Tea Tree are both naturally antifungal herbs that can help to kill off cases of seborrheic dermatitis. Both can be found in oils that can be added to your normal shampoo to help stop dandruff. They can also be found in preformulated shampoos and creams to help with dandruff. Rosemary essential oil can also act as an anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial agent to help clear up dandruff. Be sure to dilute any essential oil in a carrier oil as is the case with most Essential Oils to prevent skin irritation.
